Loki:
Is there a trope for "everyone is fan of the same merchandise"?

--- Quote from: cesariojpn on 22 Jul 2013, 02:04 ---"May" is actually Malware, given her snotty attitude and demeanor. The $1500 fee is actually a ruse to get into Dale's bank account and drain him of his meager funds.
CALLING IT!!

I think that's not at all unlikely, given that she hasn't shown the license agreement or any formal contract or official notification of the glasses' manufacturer to Dale and promises so much money for a test of rather short duration. On the other hand - that would be a pretty elaborate and involved ruse.
--- Quote from: Akima on 22 Jul 2013, 02:18 ---I think May cut herself off from saying: "I'm just an AI running out of a box in a ro-w of boxes". She didn't look too thrilled about it. Another possibility might be: "I'm just an AI running out of a box in a ro-om" because we can't hear how she pronounced "ro-".

I like these suggestions, too! "room" seems pretty likely.

--- Quote from: Mlle Germain on 22 Jul 2013, 01:14 ---My second guess would be something with "robot" at the beginning.

Epileptic tree: It is "robot", because it's Momo getting revenge on Dale for "ditching" Marigold.
ZoeB:
Not real impressed with a society that treats an intelligent entity like that.
How about asking what name she'd like, rather than assigning one she's not thrilled by.
That prickly combativeness might be a sign of emotional damage. Or not, the AI's I've grown using genetic algorithms were only marginally more intelligent than roaches. Good enough for missile defence. That was in the mid-90s, I'm sure the state of the art has advanced in the 20 years since then.
It was a bit scary seeing just how quickly the system reacted to threats though - the 10hz refresh display couldn't keep up, we had to examine the logs to verify what had happened. But I digress. Anyway, until I get evidence to the contrary, I'm modelling AIs as I would NIs. Equals in an ethical sense. People.
